Chapter 208 Sleepless Night
The mountains towered into the clouds and the sun was about to set. Two girls stood on the top of the mountain and looked down at the Doomsday Beast lying on the mountainside below.
"Dubula, why not just let Doommon destroy the planet? Why make so much trouble?"
The red-haired girl in black leather clothes leaned against a tree and spoke to the girl next to her who was short but wearing a half-human-high priest hat.
"Katrina, it is easy to destroy this planet. But in doing so, we will not be able to appreciate the self-destruction brought about by the people of this planet falling into despair amidst pain and suspicion... After all, this is the creed of the Lord of Destruction, Master Illusion."
Dubra clasped his hands to his chest and murmured.
If no one else saw it, no one would believe that this seemingly pure and lovely little nun would actually say such evil words.
"Really? That's too long-winded. I prefer what the old man said: destruction is a heroic moment."
Katrina shrugged and then fiddled with her black military cap.
"Since Doommon has been lured here, I will leave. You can slowly complete your rite of passage and bring destruction to this planet, Dubra."
"You too, I wish you a smooth transition to adulthood, Katrina."
Dubra still stood there quietly, not even looking at Katrina who was about to leave, like a puppet, motionless.
"No need to say more, Dubra. I will definitely complete the rite of passage faster than you."
There was a wicked smile on Katrina's face, and then her body turned into a flame and disappeared.
Dubra opened his arms and aimed at the Doomsday Beast below.
"It's time to move on and fire the opening salute for the upcoming celebration of destruction."
Following Dubra's action, Doommon, who had just been resting, suddenly opened his eyes.
Yae Village.
"I can agree, but you have to tell me what the situation is with the Beichen family first."
Zhou Xingxing nodded. Since the Doomsday Beast was attacking the Beichen family’s territory, it was only right for him to help.
When Yaezakura saw that Zhou Xingxing agreed, she nodded happily.
"A few days ago, a group of people who claimed to be from the Space Peace Company came from outer space, saying that they wanted to transform Edo Planet into an interstellar route. Because this matter was of great importance, the head of the Beichen family, Beichen Longma, brought people to Luoquepo to discuss this matter with the company's people... and it was at this time that the Doomsday Beast launched its attack.
Now the whereabouts of the head of the Beichen family and the people in the company are unknown, and no one knows whether they are alive or dead, so the Beichen family is currently temporarily taken over by Ryoma-sama's daughter Beichen Mei.
But ever since Lord Ryoma was attacked, some rumors began to spread.
It was said that it was because Lord Longma insisted on contacting the aliens that the monsters came... Based on this, some families that were dissatisfied with the rule of the Beichen family began to take action, and the Dongyuan family was the one that made the most noise. "
"The Doommon is still here, why is there an internal conflict now?"
Hearing this, Zhou Xingxing couldn't help but rub his chin and asked.
"I also find it very strange. Lord Ryoma is the strongest man on Edo Planet, but even he is still missing after being attacked by Doommon... Everyone should be worried about their own safety at this time, but the Fuyuhara family took the lead in resisting the rule of the Hokushin family. So I doubt that the attack by Doommon is related to the Fuyuhara family."
Yaezakura nodded and expressed her thoughts.
"But isn't Doommon a biological weapon that only knows how to kill? How could it be controlled by someone, and by a native family of Edo Planet?"
Qiong also found it very strange. This didn't make sense at all.
"Or maybe there are other people behind this."
Zhou Xingxing narrowed his eyes slightly. According to what Yaezakura said, this was the only possibility at the moment.
"Another mastermind? Why does it look so much like Xianzhou..."
Qiong spread his hands helplessly, but the mastermind behind this time couldn't possibly be the Lord of Extinction, right?
"In short, the Dongyuan family may have already contacted the mastermind behind the scenes. Otherwise, facing such a terrifying monster, they would not declare war on the Beichen family but seek cooperation instead."
Zhou Xingxing nodded. If he didn’t get any information about the Doomsday Beast from Beichen’s house, he could go directly to Dongyuan’s house to settle the previous accounts.
But what is the purpose of this mastermind behind doing this?
Zhou Xingxing thought that it was impossible for someone who could control Doommon to look down on Edo Planet, which didn't even have a space route opened.
If he didn't despise the value of this planet, he would never have allowed the Doomsday Beast to descend on this planet.
After all, both the Doomsday Beast and the Star Core bring disaster to the world. The only difference is that one is a slow erosion and the other is a violent destruction, but both will eventually lead to the demise of planetary civilization.
In addition, the fact that Doommon actually attacked the people of the Interstellar Peace Company on purpose shows that this person does not want Edo Star to compete with Zun Hu's strength.
Before officially reaching a cooperation agreement with the company, this planet is not considered a force that can protect it. The company may not want to abandon this planet because of the waste of manpower and resources caused by the Doomsday Beast.
Then the purpose is very clear. The mastermind behind this is most likely to destroy the planet.
Therefore, the mastermind behind this is most likely someone who believes in destruction.
Knowing this, I just need to ask Tingyun to find out which force it is.
"It's getting late today. Please take a rest for the night and go to Beichen's house tomorrow."
Yaezakura looked up at the slightly dim sky and spoke to the few people.
"That's good. I've been traveling all day today and I'm a little tired."
Qiong nodded and stretched lazily.
"I have prepared dinner for you in advance, please enjoy your meal first."
Yaezakura led everyone into the restaurant. The dinner was very simple, with several kinds of rice balls, white porridge, pickles and grilled fish.
However, everyone was not picky, and after dinner they returned to the guest room that Yaezakura had prepared.
As soon as you enter the room, you will see a double wooden bed neatly arranged with some daily furniture. The whole room is filled with a faint scent of cherry blossoms, looking neat and simple.
Qiong sat down on the bed, took out her cell phone and started looking through it.
Tingyun walked around for a while, then found a chair to sit down, and saw the tea set in front of him and prepared to make a pot of tea.
"My benefactor, would you like to taste the tea I brewed myself?"
Tingyun touched the tea set, then turned to Zhou Xingxing and asked with a smile.
"Didn't we just finish dinner?"
"It's because I've finished my meal that I need a cup of tea to help digestion."
Zhou Xingxing nodded when he heard this. Although he was not very interested in tea, he would just drink it if it was available.
Tingyun nodded and said that there was well water in the yard, which was just right for making tea.
Tingyun took some water, boiled it and rinsed the tea set. He then took out a small bag of tea from somewhere and poured it into the teapot.
After a moment, a fragrance filled the entire room.
"smell good."
Qiong Ben sniffed and looked at the teapot in Ting Yun's hand.
After pouring three cups of tea, Tingyun made a gesture of invitation.
As for why no one could identify the treasure, it was because it had already been put into the backpack.
"Come, please have a taste."
The two of them didn't hesitate to sit down at the table, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"It tastes good, not bitter but fragrant."
Qiong was a little surprised because she had always believed that tea was bitter.
Zhou Xingxing also thought it was quite good. It made his mouth water and left a lingering fragrance on his lips and teeth.
"This is the tea I brought from Buyehou before I left. It is the best tea in Luofu. It must be unique to be so popular."
Tingyun explained with a smile, then looked at Zhou Xingxing.
"By the way, did you notice something just now, benefactor?"
"what's up?"
Seeing Tingyun suddenly ask this, Zhou Xingxing couldn't help but look around, but didn't find anything particularly noteworthy.
"It seems that my benefactor still hasn't noticed~ There is only one bed in this room."
Tingyun smiled slightly and said in a teasing tone.
After these words were spoken, Zhou Xingxing and Qiong realized this.
Because the places I stayed in before were all hotels and the like, and one bed was normal, I didn't take it seriously.
But this time Yaezakura only prepared one guest room, so this bed was not very normal.
"I don't mind sleeping in the same bed with you, my benefactor, but I don't know..."
Tingyun paused and looked at Qiong beside him.
When Qiong heard this, he thought Tingyun meant that he wanted to sleep with Xing!
Suddenly Qiong felt unhappy, but she couldn't show her unhappiness on her face.
"What's wrong with us sleeping in the same bed? Isn't this normal? But Tingyun, it's not a good idea for you to sleep with Xing. After all, men and women shouldn't be intimate with each other. If it gets out, it won't be good for your reputation..."
Qiong pretended to be indifferent and spoke as if he was considering Tingyun.
"I think there is only one guest room in this courtyard, so I can't do anything about it. Besides, I don't dislike you, my benefactor. As long as we don't gossip about it, no one will know about it, right?"
Tingyun responded to Qiong's words with a smile, looking very comfortable.
Zhou Xingxing silently took a sip of tea, smelling the gunpowder in the air and not daring to speak.
"In that case, we'll just have to squeeze in."
"Then squeeze in!"
Zhou Xingxing didn't say a word throughout the whole process, but it seemed that the matter had been settled.
later.
"It's getting late, it's time to rest. My benefactor, let's go to bed early, as we have to travel tomorrow."
Tingyun put down the fan in his hand and spoke to Zhou Xingxing while unbuttoning his coat.
"You...what are you doing!?"
When Qiong saw Tingyun actually started to take off his clothes, his face suddenly turned red and he asked.
"Hmm? Of course I'll take off my clothes before sleeping. I've been traveling so hard today, I can't sleep in my outer clothes, right?"
Tingyun saw Qiong's appearance and said with a slight smile.
Qiong couldn't find any reason to refute for a moment, and when he saw Zhou Xingxing stealing glances at Tingyun from time to time, he immediately became angry.
"Take it off now!"
Qiong said to Zhou Xingxing.
"Ah? If you want to take it off, then take it off."
Zhou Xingxing withdrew his gaze and said to Qiong in confusion.
"If you don't take off your clothes...how can I feel comfortable..."
Qiong turned her head and spoke softly with a slightly red face.
"Look at you, benefactor. If you are so evasive, why not let me help you undress?"
Tingyun was only wearing a thin undershirt at the moment. He walked to Zhou Xingxing's side and put his slender hands around his collar.
"and many more..."
Zhou Xingxing always felt that things were developing in a strange direction. Just when he was about to stop it, he heard Qiong beside him also becoming restless.
Seeing that Tingyun actually took the initiative to help take off his clothes, Qiong couldn't sit still anymore. How could this be possible?
Doesn't this make me seem inferior to Tingyun?
Seeing that the shirt was already in Tingyun's hand, Qiong reached out and grabbed his pants.
"Wait, you two..."
After a while——
The lights in the room went out. Zhou Xingxing lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling, somewhat unable to sleep.
On the right side is Qiong, who is sleeping with one of her arms hugging her like a pillow.
Although Tingyun was lying flat on the left, his furry tail was resting on his legs, swaying and rubbing against him from time to time.
Tonight is destined to be a restless sleepless night.
